For SBA lenders

Know your SBA market cold.

The loan data is public. Knowing where you stand in it isn't. We turn the complete SBA record into your competitive position, your next deals, and your risk signals, analyzed and kept current, not just downloaded.

Built on 3,304 ranked lenders, 1,648 with an SBA Lender Score, and $497.6B of funded loans.

What you get

Three things your team can't quickly do itself

01

Competitive benchmarking

Your rank versus your named peers, by industry, geography, and over time. Updated each data release.

Analysis, not a download. Walk into any planning meeting knowing exactly where you stand.

02

BD & prospecting intelligence

Where SBA volume is growing, which verticals are underserved, and which markets your competitors are winning that you are absent from.

It feeds your origination pipeline, the strongest reason of all: it helps you make loans.

03

Risk & underwriting signal

Charge-off and default patterns by industry, franchise brand, and geography: "which franchise brands default most" is something a risk team cannot quickly derive.

Sharper credit decisions, from the same public record you already trust.

The honest question

"Why not just pull the FOIA data myself?"

You can. The records are public. The analysis, the upkeep, and the proprietary-derived cuts are the product.

Find your institution

Your SBA Lender Score, rank, charge-off vs. peers, top markets, and 3-year trajectory are already public. Look yourself up, no email required:

That public profile is the taste. The intelligence product goes deeper: your share vs. named competitors by market, BD targeting (growing and underserved markets you're absent from), competitor share-shift alerts, refreshed each release.
